French filmmaker Guillaume Blanchet brings office supplies such as elastics and thumbtacks to life in his clever and quirky stop-motion film 'A Girl Named Elastika.'
Elastika is a fearless, funny young girl made out of rubber bands. We follow her on her cork and thumbtack adventures. She goes on a road trip, she ventures into Las Vegas, she buys and rides a boat, she gets stuck on an Island and she even travels to space. Elastika embodies the childish dreams we all once had. Her limitless ability to believe in herself and her fearlessness allow her to do anything -- even walk on the moon.
"From the day I conceived her, I've been a worried father. And a proud one too," says the filmmaker in regards to his adventure-hungry Elastika. Check out this little elastic girl with big dreams; she'll put a smile on your face.
